Would I take it? In a heartbeat! I would volunteer to be the first guinea pig.
Signed, million man.
I'll believe it when I see it.
shareDitto.
They've been curing cancer as long as I've been alive.
It's always down the road, up around the corner, blah blah blah.
You think the drug companies are going to give up insulin sales and whatever other sales they got going on?
I'm still waiting on these rats to cure cancer since they announced it in the 80s.
shareI won't get my hopes up. Since I was diagnosed with MS in 2010 there have been so many "new" and "potential" cures and they have all been let downs.
shareI know, I know. But wouldn't it be awesome if like in 5 years from now it was available? Would you take it? If it cost 10k would you buy it?
Signed, million man.
I absolutely would take it. 10k isn't much compared to the last chemo treatment I had. At least I'm in a country where I don't have to worry too much about the costs of drugs.
shareI WAS GOING TO ASK WHAT THE FUCK CELIAC WAS....THEN I GOOGLED IT...NOW I AM WORRIED I HAVE IT...YOU FUCKING BASTARD!
shareMy kid has it along with type 1 diabetes
Signed, million man.
THAT REALLY SUCKS...MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED FOR YOU ON THIS POSSIBILITY....A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT ALL AROUND WITH THOSE DISEASES.
shareThanks. I hope so, but not holding my breath. Probably expensive too.
Signed, million man.
THAT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE A GIVEN...BIG BUCKS IN BETTERING PEOPLE...I AM ACTUALLY SLIGHTLY CONCERNED I MIGHT HAVE THAT THING THOUGH....OR MAYBE SOMETHING SIMILAR...MY ISSUES WITH DOCTORS OVERRIDE MY NERVOUSNESS ABOUT SYMPTOMS THOUGH.π
shareA simple blood test can test for celiac. I had one recently and tested negative yay.
shareI'm cautiously optimistic. The research was published in "Nature Biomedical Engineering" which is a highly-reputable journal. But they would have to do battle against the pharma companies who are making a killing selling the current crop of meds. Regardless, this is still good news and shows progress in a positive direction.
shareI do wonder if it's something that one might have to take boosters for? I don't really know all that much about it, but a lot of vaccines need boosters. No idea if that is the same as an inverse-vaccine, so Pharma could still make money on it.
The reason why I'm not the most hopeful for me is they that don't know what causes MS. So while it may prevent progression (which would be utterly fantastic, don't get me wrong) I don't know if it would be a cure.
